A friend of mine in Brisbane who does a bit of part time work on the AFL section for the Courier Mail has told me theres a rumour around Brisbane at the moment that Travis Johnstone wants a return to the MFC. Hes apparently unhappy at lack of time in the midfield and his insignificance within the team.

Dont shoot the messenger :rolleyes:

NO WAY, NO WAY, NO WAY AND NOOOOOOOOOOO WAY!!!

We are on the up without freeloading players like that. It's a team game after all - and he wouldn't know the meaning of the word

What would he expect to be different at MFC considering Bailey was thinking of playing him off the HBF to address his chronic inability to shake a tag?

I thought we did the right thing at the time and have seen nothing to change that belief at all.

I question whether he would want a return, but if he did his time at Melbourne is done. We have no need for him anymore. He will be 29 next year, and there arent too many, if any, 29+ year old players I would trade for or pick up in the PSD.

If he wanted out of Brisbane, just would prove he is still as mentally weak as he always was with us.

With a full squad with the way some young players are performing at the moment I honestly don't know who he would replace.

He can come back if he takes a 50% paycut.

NO double his pay - but the Bears pay 100% of it for 2 years

I'd rather cousins............far better and would cost less salery and draft wise.

Although neither fit the mould Baily is implementing.

This might mean nothing, but i thought it was interesting.

I was on the Gold Coast for the Get Smart premier a couple of weeks ago, and at the after party a few of the Lions boys were there (Merrit, Selwood, Brown ect) all hanging together... anyway then i saw Travis walk in, separately to the other players, and didn't even acknowledge, or get acknowledged, by the other players. It was a small room too. Just seemed weird that they wouldn't really even say hi, or talk. He did have a very good looking lady by his side though.

Tell your mate that the Courier Mail need to seriously lift their game. Apparently "Stefan Bailey (no relation)" was debuting for the Dees against Brisbane. I could find a factual mistake a day in the AFL section of the Courier Mail.

Yeah mate, exactly. If the player can though nullify these things does he deserve a 2nd chance.

Do you think he would accept a trade to Richmond or something.

Or is he just mfc at heart :unsure:

More like he'd want to come back because Matthews expects him to work hard, sadly for TJ it wouldn't be any different here with Bailey as coach.

He won't leave Brisbane, I don't believe any team would take him

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
